"Wake up..."
Where is this place? I... What is happening?
"Wake up..."
Who? Who is calling me? Don't make any noise, I'm very tired.
"Wake up! Stupid head!"
A can't defy thought came at me, it made my consciousness back.
Of course the first thing I wanted to do was open my eyes, but... how come I don't have eyes to open. The second thing I wanted to do is stretch out my hand and scratch my head, but I have no hands to stretch and no head to be scratch neither.
Can't it be? Surely it doesn't mean that, I'm... dead again??
"You are not dead yet, but it's also almost about." a long-gone dignified voice sounded up.
"Cotton Candy!" I was overjoyed, "is it you? I know it's you!"
"I told you not to call me like that! Cotton Candy tried hard to maintain her own majesty.
"Why do you bother about this! I say, we haven't seen each other for a long time." I was very glad to hear Cotton Candy's voice, "oh right, my there... I mean my body, how is it now?"
"Want to know? Your body hit by the current, it was turn into... almost the same as the roast duck that you familiar with in your former life." Obviously, Cotton Ball know that there is useless to talk about majesty with me, so there is a little bit more of the humorous style in his words, "Crispy skin and crunchy flesh, savory outside and tender inside, it absolutely is the best necessary goods for at home or in traveling...."
"Alright!" I was very impatient to listen to him, "what else good can't be said? Just only pick the advertisings from my former memory? And the ones have no creative ideas. Good quality and competitive price is not suitable to be used on my body!"
"......"
"What? It's good to be a roast duck?"
"......"
"Come on! Love life, love roast duck. You can also speak out the words like these?"
"......"
"Please, don't say anything more."
"......"
"Help--!"
"Well! I should use this way to deal with you this kind of life!" Her tone was full of endless satisfaction, "otherwise your tail will warp to the sky next time when I see you again."
"You said... Next time when we meet again? Then it means I'm not dead yet!"
"Don't be so happy that early! You can say that your more than ten years over there were all wasted!"
"This... Has some excuses!" I was a bit embarrassed.
"What you thought of the reasons all can't be excuses! Think about what you said to me right then!"
"Said... What?" in a moment, who can think of anything?
"If I can live one more time, just once more, I am sure I can do it much better." Cotton Candy said, "is this what you said?"
"Yes, it's what I said."
"Then did you do it a little bit better this time?"
"I... I..."
"I gave you what you need, but you didn't keep your promise!"
"......"
"Did you forget the reason and motivation of your reborn? There's a word in your memory ‘forget the past means betrayal’, right?"
Listened to Cotton Ball's words, my former life's experience floated in my heart involuntarily, the joys and sorrows of life, and so on and so forth...
"Sorry!"
"The rascal viceroy could say this word too? Fantastic!"
"Sincerely, Cotton Candy."
After a moment of silence, Cotton Candy got her tone lighter, "those stay with you together lives, they brought your body back to the called "Darkness" place, some lives are trying their best to treat your body."
"Any hops to cure?"
"Solve your own problems first! Think about why you are here first, before you can think it through, I'm not going to send you back. Besides you, I have other things needed to watch, it's not often to have the chance to save you when you are in danger." Cotton Candy said, "if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
"I know." I answered her, I really needed to think it well.
